please stop updating efl SRCDATE, it breaks builds

[Koen Kooi]

Hi,

Everytime efl SRCDATE gets changed my builds start failing in do_fetch. 
This is caused by the cvs server only allowing one connection per host, 
so with using multithreaded bitbake I have to restart the build about 10 
times to get everything fetched. I have to disable the autobuilder 
everytime this happens since it would basically DoS bugzilla with 
do_fetch error reports :(

Please think of all this when wanting to bump SRCDATE the next time.

regards,

Koen

Uhm... in all earnest you want to request people to stop updating a software 
because of upstream source fetching problems? Sorry, this won't work.

I understand your problem, but I would have expected a more constructive 
proposal than a recommendation to stop updating software in OE.

How about fetching the source from their git mirror
(http://staff.get-e.org/)?

Yes, this would be an option. I still hate git for not having incremental 
revisions, but I guess nothing is perfect in this world...
